Personally, I still fail to see how the ID40 offers better performance over the Speakerlink Input.

Whether Inputting the Sooloos into the 808.3 or 861v6, the Data Stream will go thru the Same Internal Processing and Apodizing, whether it comes in via Speakerlink or the ID40.

I strongly suspect "Meridian Speak" is at play again here

More importantly, I had been told from Meridian that Apodizing had been further optimized and indeed that was one of the main drivers for the Redesign of the 861.

The usual Meridian case of "Maxed Missages" is at play here
